I think that the first season is, not boring, not as fun as the next years, coz u have a chance of get riders you want, at the same time your young riders develop a lot more.
When the transfers get really, really weird I tend to research on the past years' transfertendencies and correct some of the ridiculous transfers while changing others completely. However, I maintain the random aspect by choosing a limited amount of teams, the rider could transfer to instead.
That way the story keep some of the realism from the first season

I even had a carreer where Cancellara hadn't yet found a team and it was about 20th December. So I hired him with Garmin, very cheap even. |
